Obama only sent 3 or 4 percent of illegal minors home...

Only about 3 or 4 percent of the unaccompanied minors who
have entered the country in the last two-and-a-half years have been
returned to their home countries, Sen. Jeff Sessions charged on Tuesday.
“It cannot be that every young person that appears from Central
America is entitled to asylum or entry into the united states, contrary
to our laws,” Sessions said during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing
on Tuesday. “It just cannot be. Does anybody in this government not
understand that?”
Immigration officials testified that the border crisis could be
mitigated if more people were sent home. “I don’t disagree with that,”
Thomas Homan, a senior official at Immigration and Customs Enforcement,
told Sessions. “I think if you have a consequence of deterrence to
illegal activity, the illegal activity will slow down.”
